Proportioning valve question

About a year after I purchased my car I had my friend replace the master cylider and proportioning valve. I didn't really know anything about cars yet, so I just had him get it from a junkyard and put it on.

the proportioning valve is not from another trans am. It is just off another chevy from the early 80's (I think). I was wondering if I took a few pics of it, if maybe someone could identify it, just out of curiosity.

It works better than the stock one that was in there when i bought the car.

I am planning on doing a full brake replacement at some point, bigger discs, better calibers etc. Not for awhile though.

Hey.... if it works better than what you had on the car before and you aren't going through pads on either end of the car at an excessive rate or warping the crap out of rotors, let 'er buck.......
